Japan-listed Metaplanet has made headlines with a significant acquisition, purchasing 5,419 Bitcoin for approximately $632.53 million, reinforcing its Bitcoin-centric treasury strategy. The transaction was executed at an average price of around $116,724 per Bitcoin. In a recent update, CEO Simon Gerovich shared on social media that, as of September 22, 2025, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 25,555 BTC, acquired for a total investment of $2.71 billion at an average price of $106,065 per Bitcoin.
This latest transaction has elevated Metaplanet to one of the top five largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, surpassing Bullish, which holds 24,300 BTC. At the top of the list is Michael Saylor’s strategy, boasting 638,985 BTC. Gerovich also highlighted that the company has achieved a remarkable Bitcoin yield of 395.1% year-to-date as of September 2025.
Metaplanet’s aggressive acquisition strategy is both ambitious and transparent. Just a few months earlier, in mid-April 2025, its total Bitcoin holdings were only 4,525 BTC, which allowed the company to break into the top ten public Bitcoin-holding firms. Initially, Metaplanet aimed to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025—a target it met by June 16. The company had outlined plans to acquire a total of 21,000 BTC by 2026 but later adjusted its treasury strategy to focus on more extensive accumulation.
Known as the “Asian Strategy,” Metaplanet launched an extensive initiative dubbed the “555 Million Plan,” which aims to raise $5.4 billion for the purchase of 210,000 BTC by 2027. Earlier this month, the firm solidified its approach by completing a significant $1.4 billion share sale, issuing 385 million new shares to fund further Bitcoin acquisitions.
However, the company’s stock experienced a decline on Monday, falling by 1.64% in Japan, with Google Finance reporting that it has dropped over 28% in the past month. Despite this dip, Metaplanet’s stock remains up 66.71% year-to-date.
In parallel, Bitcoin itself has shown volatility, slipping 0.94% in the past 24 hours to settle at around $114,491, reflecting broader trends in the cryptocurrency market. This downturn aligns with observed technical resistance, whale trading activity, and ongoing regulatory developments that have impacted the market landscape.
